James Patterson has already been successful in the young adult world with his wildly popular Maximum Ride series. James and Michael have worked together on two recent adult bestsellers – THE QUICKIE and STEP ON A CRACK.

Daniel X is the son of two Alien Hunters from the planet Alpar Nok. They came to Earth to protect humans from the Outer Ones.
